CottageCraft Axolotls
by A5ho9999
With CottageCraft Axolotls installed, axolotls appear in 34 extra custom variants, including ones tied to specific biomes such as lush caves, deserts and nether forests.
What it does
Each added variant carries a biome theme: Mossolotl for lush caves, Sandy for deserts, Frostolotl for snow and ice, Jungle for jungles, Grove for cherry groves, a Mangrove Swamp variant, a Nether variant and a Crimson Forest variant. Axolotls naturally spawning in lush caves use these variants like the normal ones do, so a player finds them without any extra step. The author notes that more variants are planned for later updates.
The mod requires Fabric API and runs on Fabric only. It is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for 1.20.1, 1.20.2, 1.20.3, 1.20.4, 1.20.5, 1.20.6, 1.21, 1.21.1, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3, and the latest file is 3.4.0-1.26.3 for 26.3, an alpha build. The code is released under a custom license and is not open source. CottageCraft Blocks and CottageCraft: Festive Easter Eggs are optional companions.
